He was Ok in his day. He may have a bit of life left in him given the chance.
But I can see what Gus is doing here. We only have one spot left and theres no decent props available at the moment. So Gus is plugging the hole with a decent forward while having the option of replacing him through retirement or some contract that allows the Dogs to replace him if a better option comes along.
This would make sense if we are signing
Daniel Suluka-Fifita who is injured and won't be available until mid season. The Dogs think
Suluka-Fifita is ideal to develop and may come in handy later. So T
etevano may be a stop gap player to add a bit of depth in the meantime.
Either way it looks like we are not going to get a top Mid this year unless someone like Klemmer becomes available. So in the mean time all we can do is have stop gap measures.
I can even envision that we don't end up getting any top Mid for next year either as evidenced in pulling out of the Fanua Blake and Terrell May negociations. I think we will be developing out own mids whether thats within or by getting a good young mid with a bit of NRL experience we can develop.
